Description

Acadia’s Community Development professors share knowledge, provide service, and develop leaders who work for a healthy and just society. Choosing to study community development will help you develop the skills needed to improve quality of life for others and to build active, healthy, sustainable communities. You may choose to maintain a broad focus or specialize in one of four areas: recreation management, community wellness, social activism, and outdoor and adventure education.

You will improve your communication and leadership skills and learn how to work effectively in group and multi-stakeholder settings. You will learn how to work collaboratively within government, political, and economic systems and policies. Your skill set can be applied to various career paths and will appeal to a wide range of employers and sectors.

Be Inspired

At Acadia, our program emphasizes the qualities that professionals in the field have identified as important in order for you to be successful. You will work collaboratively with faculty in the classroom and in the community. You will be an individual, not a number. Essential theory and concepts are balanced with experiential learning opportunities.

You will have unique experiences in your core term, when you will undertake a major fourth-year project conducted locally or internationally. During a work placement, you will gain valuable experience as you are immersed in a project that is of special interest to you.
